Err.... what?

$ pkgchk -lp /opt/csw/lib/librsvg-2.so.2
NOTE: Couldn't lock the package database.
Pathname: /opt/csw/lib/librsvg-2.so.2
Type: symbolic link
Source of link: librsvg-2.so.2.36.4
Referenced by the following packages:
         CSWlibrsvg2-2
Current status: installed

And that's not new, it's been like that for a while. So I don't think 
that explanation is the right one :-)
